Hello,
I am resisting the urge to have Julie Andrews paying as you read this. Instead I am humming it as I write. Though currently my husband is lying beside me (I am feeling under the weather and am bathed and bedded with Vicks on my feet) so I am humming in my head.
I just want to thank Meg for the great idea for a slumber party. It was really nice to meet new and amazing women. T, J, T, J, N and M you know who you are and you are amazing. J - I wish you the best of everything as you look forward to what your future holds. M - with the cutest 8 month baby bump I have ever seen, they grow too fast, enjoy the boys. J - congrats on the wedding I know you are going to have a blast. T - That dog of yours is lovely and it was so nice to see you again. N - Don't let the stories scare you, it is all amazing. T - you are totally great, and I trust that in time you will figure that out for yourself and feel totally comfortable being you. M - you have the best stories, and I love love that you still visit Earmuffs. J and M I think it goes without saying that I think you rock, but . . . I think you rock and I love you both. Here's to another slumber party soon.
Okay sad but heartfelt shout outs over . . . moving on . . .
I was thinking that I might share the books I adore with you. If anyone was ever interested, these are my go to books for all sorts of things.
1 - The Kind Diet / The Kind Life
These are Alicia Silverstones book and website. They get one entry because they work as a unit. She is thoughtful and articulate, moving and intelligent. I like a book about Veganism that doesn't go straight for the heart strings. I read this cover to cover, love every recipe I have ever made from it and refer to it often, especially if I feel myself straying. The website is updated several times a day and it full of all sorts of good information.
2 - Vegan With A Vegence
Isa is a Creative and inspiring Vegan and her cook book is full of things I want to try. I have another popular Vegan cookbook but this one is by far my favorite, though the other is handy for basic things. There are so many things I want to try in this cook book.
3 - Vegan Cookies ~ Invade Your Cookie Jar
Another Isa wonder, along with her friend Terry Hope Romero. Thank goodness, baking is the hardest part about becoming Vegan and this book has helped me so much.
4 - Quantum Wellness / Quantum Wellness Cleanse
Kathy Freston, who I have recently talked about on my recipe page, wrote another intelligent book on overall health and plant based diets. It's her cleanse that I am now following.
5 - Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.
I love this book. It's my go to book and I think I have read it at least 20 times. I can pick it up and read it any time, start any where in the book and I always find something new. My favorite book.
6 - Sandra Boynton
This childrens book author and song writer is, in my humble opinion, a gift to children and parents everywhere. A welcome break from Raffi and the like, Boyntons songs are bouncy and intelligent and the music is easy for adults to enjoy. Her books keep the kids giggling and invested.
7 - Jann Arden
I am sure it comes as a shock that I love good lyrics. I realize that what qualifies as good lyrics is up for debate, but for me she fits the bill. I love the melodies and I can always find something that matches my mood.
8 - My Family
I Just think they are an amazing group of people.
9 - My Friends
I am incredibly blessed. Incredibly.
More to come.
Nighty night.
Be
